Blank Transport Bill — A4, Excel and Word Free PDF, Excel, Word · A4 · no sign-up

A transport bill is what a goods transport agency raises against the consignment notes it has already issued — one line per LR, freight per trip, totalled for the period. The field that decides whether it is correct is the GST treatment: a GTA bill is reverse charge by default, so the recipient pays the tax under Notification 13/2017, but a GTA may instead elect forward charge at 12% with input credit or 5% without. This bill states which one applies rather than leaving it implied, because getting it wrong means either an unpaid liability or tax charged twice.

Questions

Who pays GST on a transport bill — the transporter or the customer?

By default the customer. Goods transport by road is on the reverse-charge list under Notification 13/2017-Central Tax (Rate), so a registered recipient pays the GST directly and the transporter charges none. A GTA can opt out and charge forward — 12% with input tax credit, or 5% without — but that is an election it has to declare, not the default. Tick the box on the bill so nobody has to guess.

Do I need to show GST on the bill if it is reverse charge?

Show the treatment, not the tax. Write that GST is payable by the recipient under reverse charge and leave the tax amount off — the bill total is freight only. The recipient calculates and pays the tax themselves and claims the credit. Adding a tax line to a reverse-charge bill is what causes it to be paid twice.

What is the difference between a transport bill and a lorry receipt?

A lorry receipt travels with one consignment and proves the goods were handed over. A transport bill comes afterwards and asks for money, usually covering many consignments across a month. The bill lists the LR numbers; that is the link between them, and it is the first thing a customer checks before paying.

Is the transport bill free to download?

Yes. PDF, Excel, Word download without a sign-up, an email address or a watermark. You can also put your own business name and GSTIN on it from the panel beside the document and print that — nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.

Can I change what is on this transport bill?

Yes. The panel beside the document adds and drops blocks — letterhead, e-way bill row, reason for transportation, signatures — and switches paper size, language and the number of item rows. Whatever the document shows is what downloads.
